Celestial servant...for Druid or sorcerer?


Advice


Working on a build for an aasimar with an animal companion utilizing Celestial Servant from ARG. The idea is to have a primary caster with a tanky pet that I can throw buffs on. Which do you guys think would be better...Sylvan sorcerer or Druid?


Druid ends up with a better pet once around lvl 7+ due to better buffs. Sorc can be nearly as good. It only depends on your play style.


Keep in mind the pet gets SR too. It takes a standard action to drop the SR.


I've been unimpressed by the druid spell list. I'd probably be sorc unless you want to do some melee yourself.


Be a nature oracle. Get the favored class bonus to make your companion 1/2 an additional level beter each level.


I looked into oracles, and they can only get mounts. I don't want a horse or camel. Your point on SR is a good one, though...hand't thought of that. Makes buffing the pet a bit wonky...I'd probably have to teach it a trick to lower it's SR, and possibly another to raise it again. Mage Armor ignores spell resistance, at least...hm.


SR automatically raises at the staryt of it's next turn. So to keep pinging it with spells you would need to have it burn it's standard or attempt the SR.

In pfs you can have an axebeak as a mount for it.
